Diflucan and BC
| Tue, 04-27-2004 - 3:23pm |
So ladies... have any of you ever had to take the oral pill diflucan for a yeast infection? I am treating a UTI right now and my doc gave me a diflucan pill to take at the end of the treatment in CASE I'd developed a UTI. I'm on BC right now though and while I KNOW that cipro is an antibiotic that lessens the effectiveness of the pill, i wondered if diflucan did the same thing (aka, if I have to use backup for 7 days after the cipro or 7 days after the diflucan)
Just wondering... also, does diflucan stay in the system longer and would that effect BC? Thanks! :-)

I have taken both and my pharmacist warned about this. However, I'd been taking them concurrently long before they discovered there was an issue and she said if nothing happened prior, then I shouldn't worry. However, I would suggest you be safe rather than sorry and use a backup method. As far as I know, the Diflucan stays in your system for about 5 days.
